Read how connectivity and control are both required for banks to realise the benefits of tokenisation through a blockchain network that is public yet permissioned, and why Digital Asset and the Canton Network stand out.

Bank of International Settlements (BIS) SC60 Rule - How to Assess your Risk

The new BIS rule SC60 assigns a different balance sheet treatment (Risk Weighted Assets) based on a series of conditions, and can lead to certain crypto-assets requiring 1250% in Risk Weighted Assets for banks.

All "cryptoassets (including tokenised assets) that use permissionless blockchains'' automatically trigger a risk weighting of up to 1250%.
